Naylor homers as the Diamondbacks beat the Padres 6-3 on Machado's big night
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Josh Naylor hit a two-run homer against his original team and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat San Diego 6-3 on Monday night after Padres slugger Manny Machado got his 2,000th career hit.
Machado hit a hard shot off the glove of diving shortstop Geraldo Perdomo leading off the fourth inning and received a standing ovation. Machado, whose milestone hit came off starter Zac Gallen, became the fifth active player and 297th overall to reach 2,000 hits.
Machado's third hit of the night was a homer off Kyle Backhus leading off the eighth, his 15th of the season and 357th of his career. The All-Star slugger also had a single in the first.
Machado grounded into a game-ending double play against Kevin Ginkel, who earned his second save.
Yu Darvish (0-1) made his season debut for the Padres after being sidelined with right elbow inflammation since spring training. He allowed two runs and three hits in 3 2/3 innings, struck out five and walked two. He got a nice ovation when he was lifted.
Naylor homered to center field off Yuki Matsui with one out in the fifth and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. aboard on a single. It was his 11th. Naylor made his big league debut with the Padres in 2019 and was traded to Cleveland on Aug. 31, 2020, in the nine-player deal that brought Mike Clevinger to San Diego.
Gallen (7-9) pitched six strong innings, holding the Padres to one unearned run and five hits while striking out nine and walking one. He improved to 4-0 in his last five starts against San Diego.
Naylor walked leading off the second and scored on All-Star Eugenio Suarez's double that rattled around in the left-field corner. Gurriel's single in the third brought in Corbin Carroll, who hit a leadoff double and advanced on Perdomo's sacrifice bunt. Carroll hit an RBI triple in the eighth and scored on Perdomo's single.

Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier set to reveal teams they drafted for WNBA All-Star Game
NEW YORK (AP) — Caitlin Clark and Naphessa Collier each have their draft strategy for the WNBA All-Star Game. The two captains chose their teams for the game that will be played on July 19 at Clark's home arena in Indianapolis. The squads will be revealed Tuesday night. There's intrigue whether Clark will draft Fever teammate Aliyah Boston with the No. 1 pick that the guard earned by getting the most fan votes. Or will she take three-time league MVP A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces. Clark also may try to draft All-Star reserve Kelsey Mitchell, who is another Indiana teammate. 'I think there's a high chance that Kels and AB will be on my team,' Clark said Monday at an open practice for season ticket holders. 'I'm going to do everything I can to get those two. I might trade the rest of my team for those two. I'm excited, it will be a lot of fun. That's what the All-Star Game is for, giving the fans something to cheer about.' Wilson said at practice Monday that she was fine wherever she was drafted. The Aces star has experience having been captain of the game a few times. She went against Breanna Stewart, who is also a starter again this year. 'Stewie and I always had fun, that's just us,' Wilson said. 'We took it seriously, but we also didn't. We just made sure we were happy with our choices. Stewie and I had our unwritten written rules. We had a good time we had an understanding of everything.' The other starters that Clark and Collier will choose from include rookie Paige Bueckers, Sabrina Ionescu, Allisha Gray, Satou Sabally and Nneka Ogwumike. Collier will get first pick of the reserves. Her teammate, Courtney Williams, is among the 12 players that were chosen by the league's 13 coaches. Other All-Stars include first-timers Kayla Thornton, Gabby Williams and Washington rookies Kiki Iirafen and Sonia Citron. It's the first time there are three rookies in the All-Star Game since 2011. Seattle's Skylar Diggins, Phoenix's Alyssa Thomas, Atlanta's Rhyne Howard, Los Angeles' Kelsey Plum, Las Vegas' Jackie Young and Chicago's Angel Reese round out the players. ___ AP WNBA:

Phillies 2-Player 'Godfather Offer' for $100M HR Derby Star 'Could Get it Done'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Philadelphia Phillies suffered a harsh loss on Monday, falling to the San Francisco Giants despite a seven-inning, one-run gem from starter Cristopher Sanchez. The game underscored a concerning trend for the Phillies. As their starting pitchers live up to lofty expectations, the offense has routinely been unable to offer significant run support. And that could drive a major addition for the batting order at the trade deadline. Assembling a list of potential "Godfather offers" for the upcoming deadline, ESPN's David Schoenfield proposed a Phillies trade package of prospects Andrew Painter and Justin Crawford for Minnesota Twins slugger Bryon Buxton that "could get it done." "Philadelphia has a lot riding on 2025 given the age of its lineup, and executive Dave Dombrowski knows how to go all-in," Schoenfield wrote. "In this case, that would mean parting with one of the top pitching prospects in the game in Painter, plus a promising young outfield hitting well at Triple-A."

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - MAY 10: Byron Buxton #25 of the Minnesota Twins walks to the dugout in the fifth inning of the game against the San Francisco Giants at Target Field on May 10, 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by) More Maturen/Getty Though the package would be hard to part with, if it was really enough to land Buxton the Phillies could gain an instant fix for their offensive questions. In the midst of a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Twins, Buxton already has 20 homers this year and was recently selected for his second-career All-Star game as well as the upcoming Home Run Derby. Crucially, Buxton would be able to slot into center field for the Phillies, where they've faced offensive questions for years. "But center field has been a soft spot in recent seasons, with the Phillies in the bottom third in the majors in OPS this year, and the team's overall power output has been below average, even with Kyle Schwarber," Shoenfield added. "Adding Buxton adds more pop to the middle of the order." The fit between Buxton and Philadelphia seems clear. But it might take an offer the Twins can't refuse to pull it off.
